I bought my 1st pair of Quest 4D boots back in 2020, and I am still wearing them to this day. (Have them on right now actually) Not sure the mileage on them, but I've worn them ALOT. I was quick to order a 2nd pair in 2021 that I slowly rotated in from time to time. Now, 6 years later, my trusty original pair are starting to show signs of wear where the toe cap is slightly separating from the boot Greg S · backcountry.com

I've been a construction worker for over 30 years. I am seriously picky about my boots. I've had these boots for about 3 months, the break in was about a week. Once broke in, I had no issues. I am currently in California where we are experiencing huge amounts of snow. I have shoveled my snow in these boots every day and not got wet once. 5 stars. Mrjunk · moosejaw.com
